Canadian police claim to have retaken the capital Ottawa which has been hit along with other cities by weeks-long demonstrations and seen the Emergency Act imposed for the second time in the country's history.
Several people have been camping in front of parliament for more than three weeks to protest against Covid-19 restrictions.
The trucker protest, which grew until it closed a handful of Canada-U.S. border posts and shut down key parts of the capital city for weeks, could echo for years in Canadian politics and perhaps south of the border.
The protesters initially wanted an end to cross-border COVID-19 vaccine mandates for truck drivers, but the blockade has gradually turned into an anti-government and anti-Justin Trudeau demonstration.
Canadian police moved Friday to clear a trucker-led demonstration against Covid rules, arresting 70 people and towing away dozens of vehicles that have been choking streets of the Canadian capital for three weeks.
